Esther 3:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ Then, the king’s servants who were at the king’s gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you transgress the king’s commandment?”

⁴ And even though they spoke daily to him, he would not listen. Therefore, they told Haman, to see how Mordecai’s words would stand (for he had told them that he was a Jew).

⁵ And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow to him, nor did he pay homage to him, then Haman was full of anger.
